Everybody who works a regular job and sits at a desk for long hours is at risk of being too sedentary. ๐จ
Being too sedentary is very bad for health because the body relies on exercise to allow it run optimally. So many of the bodyโs systems depend on movement and muscular contraction to be activated fully.
Are you an office worker? Here are 3 exercises and yoga postures for you:
๐ Arms over head: Lift your arms over your head and breath deep for three breaths. Then repeat.
๐ Chair pose: Stand from your chair and bend both your legs at the same time like you are pretending to be sitting in a chair but donโt go down all the way and start to feel the quadriceps activate. Then straighten the legs and repeat.
๐ Interlace your fingers behind your back: Feel the chest and heart opening as you interlace your fingers behind your back and do your best to bring your palms together.
Hope this helps you a lot! These will make a big difference to your overall well being. ๐
The asana is never the goal. The purpose of the asana is to bring us to a seated, comfortable, and stable position for meditation in which we may suspend the movement and fluctuations of the mind in order to experience our true nature ๐
All the paths of Yoga are of one aim, one goal essentially. The goal of all the paths of Yoga is to be able to identify a higher and more eternal reality as your true nature. ๐
Once we realize that we are not our bodies, we can begin to live with more peace and less fear which is the ultimate advancement on the yoga path. โ๏ธ๐
Have you ever heard the saying โyour body is your templeโ? The idea is that your body is a structure which your spirit resides.๐
The Asana branch of Hatha Yoga focuses on keeping a fresh, healthy temple so your soul can evolve. However, Asana Yoga blends focused breathing and deep concentration with physical poses.โ๏ธ
It joins breathing, moving, and thinking.โ๏ธ๐
